Tell us what you really think, Pat
Patrice Evra is a passionate man, especially when it comes to Manchester United, so his views after United’s 6-1 humiliation at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur were always going to be worth watching.
United had been insipid from the moment they took the lead from the penalty spot within the first minute, and the performance provoked a furious response from supporters on social media.
For Evra, it seemed to be the final straw after a start to the season which has seen one win from the club’s opening two league games.
He started off his post-match segment by saying “I really would like to end my contract with Sky” before unleashing on his former team.
"I really would like to end my contract with Sky – I know you have to have some filter when you talk on TV." 😳

“I know you have to have some filter when you talk on TV,” said Evra. “But it’s a shambles. Gary Neville – I hear him say ‘captain Harry Maguire needs a holiday, a break, to go to the national team’.
“We’re always talking about pairing him with someone, but what about taking him out of the squad?
“I don’t want to start criticising players. I’ve been there so it’s really difficult. I’ve made many comments about the board, but tonight no one has any excuse.
“They let down all the United fans. And I don’t care about the result, because I’ve been beat 6-1, but it’s just that every year is the same story.
“I feel like all of the United fans right now. And that’s why I’d prefer to even commentate on other games if I continue working for Sky.”
